INCREASE IN PARENTAL LEAVE DELAYED
By Gail Escolme, 27 January 2012 –
The expected increase in parental leave from 3 months to 4 months, which was to be introduced in March 2012, has been delayed by BIS because of their review of parental leave which will be undertaken as part of the Consultation in Modern Workplaces. BIS intends to use the additional year provided by the Parental Leave Directive and will now implement the Directive in March 2013.
